Stroll Glimmer Yarn

$3.53 50g / Ball
Original Price: $5.89

Add a touch of glamour to any project with Stroll Glimmer! Available in a fun range of colors, fine strands of shimmering Stellina are spun together with superwash Merino for softness and nylon for added strength. A subtle sparkle lets you dress up everything from socks to shawls, scarves and mitts while your choice of rich, solid colors make cables, lace and textures really stand out. Stroll Glimmer is also machine washable, letting you spread glittering cheer to friends and family without the worry of special care instructions.

True black that matched another "true black" yarn that I had perfectly. The silver angelina in the thread sticks out, but I haven't had issues with any falling out or pulling out. It's also VERY soft - I love it!
I used mine as an accent for a shawl

Very soft, especially after washing in Eucalan. Knits up nicely, doesn't split. Since I do socks two at a time, I like that it's in 50-gram balls. Saves time winding. My only reservation is that the "glimmer" isn't twisted into the strand as well as some other glitter yarns, so you end up having stray silver threads sticking out. Small price to pay, however. I will be getting more. Socks are my between projects project, so I'm always looking for neat yarn and this is very good yarn at a great price.

I used the black glimmer as the warp threads in a lap robe I wove for my brother. The weft threads were a patchwork of ends of multicolored sock yarn spliced together
Glimmer was perfect, it's a very subtle sparkle and the black is a perfect foil for all the colors. Turned out exactly as I pictured it. Perfect for Christmas

I was concerned about buying this after the review that found it gaudy. I'm so glad I did. I knit an entire skein, pulled it out and re-knit and the yarn is good as new. Very soft and easy to use, and it looks great. Full of sparkle.

This is wonderful yarn! I purchased the Kestrel color, and am excited to make and give anything made from it. Already, I have made a pair of basic crocheted fingerless gloves (ch32, hdc in 3rd ch from hook and each one thereafter until it is 6 1/2 to 7" across (fits the hand with the hdcs going lengthwise). I added a sc border on each side and then a gentle trim at the arm area. Gorgeous!!! On my second pair now. Currently looking for more colors.

I wish I could give this more stars. I really like stroll and purchased the glimmer in white hoping for some sparkle for an icicle and snowflake patterned shawl. Under lights, it looks fine as the sparkle really shows. However, seen from a distance, it looks grey and dirty. It might be better in another color and I may buy more and see if that is true.

This yarn is wonderful. I bought 3 different shades to use on wraps for gifts. is was a loose lacy shawl and the glimmer was just enough to catch the light, this blocks beautifully and feels like a little bit of heaven to work with

I'm working this up (in white) into a shawl for a bride, and I can't imagine a more perfect yarn for the purpose. It is soft enough for skin contact and the tiny glitter fibers are not scratchy. They're not too flashy, either. It's still on my needles so I can't review how well it blocks yet, but I have fallen in love with this yarn and don't want to wait to post my review. I will definitely purchase it again if I decide to knit an item where it would be appropriate. This was my first yarn from KnitPicks and I now consider myself to be a very happy KnitPicks customer.

Bought Potion in January with Christmas gift certificate. Made a sweater with 2 rows of trees. The glitter gives it a nice Christmas feel and it is soft besides. Will be wearing it tomorrow for the Sunday before Christmas. The sweater looks amazing. Thanks.

Just got around to using some of the Stroll Glimmer I picked up earlier in the year. I expected it to be a bit scratchy, due to the Stellina mixed into the yarn, but was pleasantly surprised at how soft it is. It's knitting up beautifully. I will definitely be ordering more in the near future.

The minimal sparkle in this yarn makes it quite sophisticated. There is no gaudiness in the finished knit, but just a hint of understated elegance. Good job, KnitPicks, on another home run.

I used the Stroll Glimmer in white to knit a wedding shawl for my daughter. The yarn is very easy to use, and the shimmer is very subtle. In fact, I wish the silver thread showed up a bit more so it would match her dress. But , I love this yarn. It washed beautifully.

I bought this in Foxglove to knit a pair of socks and I LOVE the results. It knits up well, washes and dries beautifully, and best of all, I now have socks that sparkle!

I used this yarn in foxglove to make a pair of elbow length wristers for my granddaughter, using broomstick crochet. They're beautiful and she thinks they're great.

This is a lot gaudier in person than it looks online. I thought the glitter would be subtle flecks but it's in fairly long (5 mm or so) strings that aren't really incorporated well with the yarn itself. I bought the Foxglove colorway and the silver glitter strands look tacky. Knit up it looks a little better but you still have glitter strings hanging out everywhere; it does not really knit in with the yarn. I would not buy this again; it's more of a novelty yarn than anything.
